Steroid Use In Golf

07-24-2007, 08:12 PM

I saw a report on Sports Center where some dude is talking about Steroid use in golf....its gettin rediculous who cares about that golf isn't about power, and to quote one of the analysts i forget which one "Golf is a skill, not a sport." that made me happy.

I could say that steroids doesn't help a hitter in baseball with his hand-eye coordination, either.

It'll help you hit it further when you make contact. Plus, in baseball as long as you hit in between the lines that's great, but in golf you have to hit the ball in the fairway or on the green. You have to aviod the rough, bunkers, and water hazards

I think the key is... for the most part steroids alone won't make a great athlete in any sport, but they will make an athlete better.

I think most people have this misconception that steroids in a finesse sport is pointless, as in golf. But there are power elements in those games that make steroids tempting for a player who is on the brink of being great. Most of these pros can make a 15ft birdie putt, play with the wind,make it on the fairway and so forth, so if you add the element of steroid and it's effect, how wouldn't affect the game?

That has nothing to do with what we are talking about. So what that power hitters don't suceed. It gives you an advantage, it's obvious that it helps you, just like in baseball it only helps you hit the ball harder. If Tiger juiced up and could drive the ball further than no doubt he'd be a better player, like if anyone did that.
